ADAS – a safe bet to improve commercial vehicle efficiency?
Active safety technologies were originally developed to help prevent crashes, but developers have found they can also help curb energy consumption.
While advances in passenger car systems may steal most of the spotlight when it comes to active safety, the trucking segment is also making strides. In particular, new synergies have been found between active safety, connectivity and fuel efficiency.
The idea behind truck automation is to relieve drivers of at least some... [Lire la suite]

120 AI Predictions For 2019
Me: “Alexa, tell me what will happen in 2019.”
Amazon AI: “Do you want to open ‘this day in history'?"
Me: “Alexa, give me a prediction for 2019.”
Amazon AI: “The crystal ball is clouded, I can’t tell.”
My conversation with Amazon’s “smart speaker” or “intelligent voice assistant” just about sums up the present state of “artificial intelligence” (AI) at home, the office, and the factory: Try a few times and sooner or later you will probably get the correct action the human intelligence behind it...

Capitalizing on the “Connected Truck”
Fleet monitoring has been the focus of significant modernization in recent decades. The ultimate goal of fleet monitoring is to maintain a connection between fleet managers and fleet vehicles, not merely for tracking and visibility, but also to improve driver safety and security, preserve the company’s assets, and guarantee the intact delivery of the freight on board. These days, simple telematics systems alone may not be sufficient to accomplish these goals. Modern fleet management goals... [Lire la suite]

Five trends transforming the automotive industry
The mobility of the future is “eascy” – electrified, autonomous, shared, connected and “yearly” updated. In this study, we describe the factors influencing the sector leading up to 2030 in the key US, Europe, and China markets. It also describes how the automotive industry should restructure itself in terms of volume, scale, and complexity.
Through mathematical modeling of key performance indicators and demographic trends, the paper discusses:
Mobility behaviour of users through... [Lire la suite]

Will Apple Buy Tesla In 2019?
What price Apple to buy Tesla in 2019? Denmark’s Saxo Bank thinks it knows. The forecast is second on the company’s just-released ten “outrageous predictions for 2019” list of “unlikely but underappreciated events which, if they were to occur, could send shockwaves across financial markets.”
Tesla would be worth $90 billion, at the $520-per-share price that fintech specialist Saxo is tipping it to be taken out at. That is 40% higher than Tesla’s current $64 billion stock market capitalization and... [Lire la suite]

Sensor Fusion for Self-Driving Cars
There are essentially three main system functions of self-driving cars: (1) car sensor-related system functions, (2) car processing related functions that we tend to consider the AI of the self-driving car, and (3) car control related functions that operate the accelerator, the brakes, the steering wheel, etc.
I am going to discuss today mainly the sensors and an important aspect of sensory data usage that is called sensor fusion. That being said, it is crucial to realize that all three of these... [Lire la suite]
